Point/counterpoint: bare feet vs sexy shoes

April 5, 2010 by Elliot James

Naked tootsies or hot heels? SCORELAND members on two opposing sides duke out this long-standing subject in point/counterpoint format. I think a lot depends on the location and the personality of the model. Outdoor shoots in natural locations, like a grassy area, tend to favor the barefoot look. Black spike heels look out of place at poolside in the daytime. I don’t think anyone would dispute that the shape of the ass, leg and foot look sexier in high heels.

Shyla Shy from the April ’10 V-Mag seems more like the barefoot type unless someone asks her to put on the hot shoes.

Point
“I hope you get a kickback from the shoe manufacturers, because every friggin’ pictorial has the women wearing shoes! They are not sexy when they are lying down with their legs in the air or in a doggy-style pose. I will grant you they make the models’ legs look good…when they are standing!  I know they sometimes hide ugly feet, but it’s still a cliche!”–M.

“I’m not a foot fetishist, but I love a nice pair of feet. I’m suggesting that models wear shoes for the standing shots but lose them when lying down or in doggy-style shots. Kerry Marie has beautiful feet. Yet every single picture has her wearing some kind of slip-on shoe, even on her back in a bed or on a couch.”–M.G.

“I am not a foot-fetish person, but I do like totally nude and no shoes when it’s time to fuck!”–R.R.

We pretty much have the impression that Lanea Love from the same issue is a heels lover.

Counterpoint
“What most guys want to see is open-toed mules, oily bodies and plenty of bent over at the knees photos against a plain backdrop.”–S.

“Go to any strip club anywhere in the world and tell me if you see even one dancer on stage wearing flip-flops or shoes a girl would wear in an office. Fuck no! They’re all sliding around on six-inch see-through heels. Why? Because dancers know better than anyone what turns guys on.”–K.I.

“I noticed that some of the readers make mention of your models wearing heels and their displeasure with that decision. I can honestly say that I love it when you photograph your models wearing heels and shoes that exotic dancers wear, such as CFMPs (Come Fuck Me Pumps), and the shorter the skirts, the tighter the tops and the skimpier the outfits, the better.”–P.W.

The debate will continue for a long time.

    I for one love to wear high stripper heels,most of the time they add to the outfit even if it is halfway off! I am very short though so I think heels are great for me. I also have one of those personalities that I just don`t walk around barefoot ,but if I happen to be barefoot (like walking in grass or sand) I still walk on my toes as if the heels are still on my feet! Yes I have been guilty in the past of wearing heels to the pool ,but not stripper heels,pool heels only 4-5 inch wedge type of sandal looking heel then of course I leave them at the edge of the pool when I get in the water .How else does a girl go to the pool without burning her feet on the sun baked patio? 😉

    Dear Dave.. I remember a happy time (for me at least) when SCORE, Voluptuous and XL-Girls featured pictures of gorgeous WOMEN WITH BIG TITS.. (woman = human being with head, bust+BIG TITS, waist, pussy, ass, legs, FEET).. now they mostly feature pictures of BIG TITS.. WITH TRACES OF WOMEN.. FEET EXCLUDED!!! 🙁
    I think they call it “EVOLUTION”..???

    This will be a eternal debate for centuries to come.

    I love womens feet, and I love females in sexy heels. Especially platform mules.

    As long as their is a even balance when shown in pictorials and videos, it shouldnt be a problem.

    My pet peeve with Score pictorials is they will show the whole model in their pictorials, and cut her off at the ankles. I can never understand why they do that.

    Peace.

      blackbull1970: “My pet peeve with Score pictorials is they will show the whole model in their pictorials, and cut her off at the ankles. I can never understand why they do that.” Because there are very few ways to emphasize boobs and feet at the same time since they are at virtually opposite ends of the body. There are some poses in which that’s possible, but they’re rare. To get the feet into a picture, we need to get too far from the model, which means we don’t get closer to her boobs…which is what most SCORE Men really want to see.–Dave

    I do not have a shoe fetish but I do have a small foot fetish. I LOVE women with pretty feet and well manicured toes. You can start off with the shoes, but when it’s time to get down to business, BARE FEET RULES!!!

    I’m torn on this. I like it when a woman has pretty feet and toes, but I also like the high heels. The high heels are sexy and slutty, which is a big turn-on. But if a girl has pretty feet with beautiful arches, she should be showing those off too. Like I said, I’m torn because I like both. If her feet are ugly, make her keep them on. If she has cute feet, make her take them off. LOL! If her feet are pretty, yet she still wants to wear the heels then let her wear the heels for half of the scene, and take them off for the other half. 🙂

    I’m in the no- shoes corner.
    Why is it that in almost every porn movie, fuck scene and photo set
    the women are wearing high heels? And in the last 5 or 10 years
    many of the shoes have ridiculously high heels.
    If you have a shoe fetish, sure, you love it. But i dout the majority
    of the people watching porn have that fetish.
    So what’s up with those damn fucking shoes?

    Hooray for the almighty Editor! 🙂
    Many thanks for bringing the topic under the spotlight again!
    I am 100% sure there will be no end to this “classic” debate. Personally (as a TSG fan and part-time glamour/fetish photographer) I do respect other people’s tastes.. and I am well aware that when you run a business, you MUST do so.
    So I am not expecting to find bare feet in every picture of every layout featured in V-Mag, SCORE or XL-Girls magazines.. even if I love women who go barefooted EVERYWHERE, 24/7.. town & country!
    Anyway, I DO believe that a MORE BALANCED and ACCURATE approach would greatly help TSG to deliver a top-class product. This means:
    1) keep shoes, hoses and socks off where they don’t belong: bed, couch, poolside, lawn..
    2) try to include at least ONE decent-sized “barefoot” shot in 3-4 layouts per issue;
    3) MOST IMPORTANT: when the model is barefoot.. TELL YOUR PHOTOGRAPHERS and PHOTO-EDITORS NOT TO CROP HER FEET.. THANK YOU!!!
    CUT-IN-HALF BARE FEET IN A PHOTO MAKE ME GO BERSERK!!!
    A low bow to the Editor.. as usual!
